What are you using to charge it? Computer? Desktop or laptop? Front ports or back ports? Are they USB 2.0 ports? USB hub? AC-USB adaptor?
And what exactly do you mean by “and I can even use it a few days later, If Im not using it…” ?
Seems everything will be okay with my unit.Thanks. 
Scanning some threads some of the reviews are so depressing.Hope this will be updated soon.Just concern.

Don’t hold your breath. The Clip+ has just about reached the end of it’s (current) life-cycle and has very few problems. There won’t be any further firmware updates.

Argh… Is this official information? That’d be depressing news.
It’d be a sign of bad customer care just to leave the “few problems” there and not to fix them all versus leave behind a well supported product. Since the real life-cycle of this kind of well-built electronic stuff is far more than a couple of years.
PS. The only way to get a somehow acceptable real world (moderate volume, quality mp3s or oggs) battery life (~7-8 hours) with my Clip+ is by using Rockbox. I can do this with original firmware by playing 128kpbs mp3’s with minimum volume.
edit: Correcting a mistake: I get the ~7-8 hours with Rockbox with maximum volume ie. when listening with stereo system or big speakers. On moderate volume it’s on the par with Clip+ advertising statement which was ~15 hours.

Well its been over a year since the last official firmware release and the clip+ has been out for a while now. Theres some players shipping with a newer firmware, but it looks like its just some minor release thats not being distributed to existing players.

Heh, then good customer care would be impossible. All firmware has bugs. We’ve been releasing rockbox on some players for almost a decade now and we’re still doing bug fixes. Your player (and you as well) will be dust long before the software is perfected.
I bought a Clip+ and a 16Gb micro SD card for it, and crammed over 10,000 songs on it. However, the “Shuffle” play mode does not remove tracks as it plays them. Thus I end up skipping past the same tracks over and over. The result is that the shuffle feature is very annoying to use; but listening to the entire playlist un-shuffled is simply impractical. Please update the firmware so that songs are eliminated from the playlist as they are played or skipped. This way i’ll actually hear the other 9950 songs i have on my player. Currently it seems to play the same supposed “random” sequence of the same supposed “random” songs, which isn’t random at all. Even my old 1 gig iRiver mp3 player from 6 years ago had a better shuffle mode than Sandisk.
ahh ■■■■… If the post above about the clip+ being no longer supported is true, then i’ll be returning this player. just bought it. Shuffle play mode ■■■■■.
I have a problem with my sansa clip+ which i purchased only two weeks ago
Under volume settings, i set it to low, and now the volume option under settings has vanished, and my volume is so low i can hardly hear it set on max.
I have tried updating, and the problem persists.
Please help!!

Okay, the release note says:
Enhancements:
- Supports newer memory configuration
What does that mean?
I’m curious too. That firmware has been showing up on new players for a while, and they’ve always been able to downgrade to .15. If they’d changed the flash memory or DRAM memory you’d think they wouldn’t be able to downgrade. Maybe its just better battery life or performance or something ?

The memory configuration is the actual flash used in the device. This firmware was released to support the new memory technology. This is transparent to the user but older firmwares may not have optimal performance on newer devices. .16 has built in support for both older devices and newer memory configurations.

What does this mean? Will writing to the internal memory be faster with the 16 firmware? Will writing to a card in the player be any faster?
I had previously reported a problem that my 4GB Sansa Clip+ would not recognize MP3s on a sandisk 8GB SDHC card. I was running firmware version 01.02.15. I got no satisfaction until today when I updated to 01.02.16. I can now see MP3s on my 8GB SDHC card. Lots more songs here I come 
Hello,
I have just updated my Firmware to V01.02.16F it all looked fine untill I turned it on and volume was very low, no problem I thought, so I went to Settings and looked for the Volume Setting that puts the earphone setting from Normal to High and found out it is no longer there. I am hard of hearing and really do need that feature, how canI get the volume up higher than the preset like it was with the old version of the Firmware. Can I restore an older version?

Don’t have to. You must have put Europe as your Region after the firmware update. There is an EU-mandated loudness, or decibel limitation in place. To get around it, just reset the Factory Settings and select Rest Of World when it asks for your Region this time.
